Resident site community discussion board

A Resident community discussion is an online bulletin board that facilitates online conversations with your tenants and association owners who have access to the resident portal. Use this feature to allow members of a rental property or association to talk about important issues pertaining to their property/association.

For Example:

Association owners can continue a conversation that began at a recent Board Meeting.

With Buildium, I am able to hold a discussion with my tenants without leaving my office.

When Frank had an outburst on our discussion board within Buildium, I was able to quickly delete his post since it clearly did not add to the conversation at hand.

Residents can add their own topics through their site as well. The instructions below discuss how a staff member can add, edit or delete a discussion topic.
